Funding with Trust aims to change donor views about locally-led African organisations, influence donor giving towards them and build more trust and respect. It was birthed out of a recognition that locally-led organisations suffer from a lack of international visibility and when they do get visibility, it has mostly been in a negative light, making it hard for funders to trust them. This makes it increasingly difficult for them to access donors and funding opportunities.

Transforming Food Security into Nutrition Security

Recorded August 2024: In this episode, Isabel shares how she went from feeding one homeless man in Brussels to founding Solid’Africa, a movement tackling hospital nutrition in Rwanda. She talks about overcoming funding barriers, rejecting top-down philanthropy, and proving that food is medicine.

Key highlights

More than 3 billion people in the world can’t afford to have a healthy meal.
Solid’Africa started by feeding 5 people in 2010 and now serves over 15,000 meals a day and is expanding its impact beyond hospitals into schools and farming cooperatives.
The right funders support, not control. A super funder is someone you can call in a crisis, without fear of judgment.
